Topsy Turvy Baby for Katy




I enjoy making things that people might enjoy. Kids sometimes enjoy something different and handmade because no one else will have one. My niece Katy has her 3rd birthday in May and I have been working like a mad woman trying to finish her "Topsy Turvy Doll". She and he sister Kendall are part Hispanic and my goal was to make a doll that looks like her and is not Dora the Explorer. This doll is 100% cotton and totally washable so it can take the love a 3 yr old may give it. The colors are a wonderful turquois, purples, pinks, white and a tan for skin color and brown for the hair. If you see this, I would love your comments left on this site. I will try to get more (and better) pictures later in better light. I was too excited to wait. Happy Easter!!!

she is beautiful, I am so proud of you. Just think how many little girls you could make happy if you made a few more. Brandy for instance. I wish we could all be there when she opens her presents. I hope Becky takes a lot of pictures. You know Kendall will have to have one also. BF

It is adorable!!!!! Did you knit it from a pattern? If so, what pattern did you use? It looks like a cute idea for a little girl, and since i am about to get a little niece (cousin due in June), an adorable and unique gift for her when she gets a little bigger!!!! Wonderful job-- have a Happy Easter!

Thank you so much my family & friends!!! The baby is crochet and the pattern is available.
I found it easier than expected. I did think of one for Kendall that was more of a story doll, but have yet to pull it together. hahahaha maybe a Hannah Montana doll...:P
I cannot wait for Katy to hold it!
Love you all thanks for the praise! The Thursday Ladies will see it this coming week.

What a beautiful doll! You're doing a great job. What a talent you have! I think she will love the doll and really appreciate it later in life if her mom puts it up and keeps it for her after she's thru playing with it now. Keep up the good work :)
